Murata Type VK Wi-Fi™ 802.11b/g W-LAN Module is based on the Texas Instruments CC3000 chipset supporting the IEEE802.11 b/g standard for WiFi connectivity. The unique benefit provided to the customer is an essentially host-less module in terms of the wireless LAN driver, supplicant, and firmware, which all reside on-module. The Murata Type VK Wi-Fi™ 802.11b/g W-LAN Module can quickly and easily interface to low MIP microcontrollers. It is pre-integrated with several Texas Instruments low power and low cost microcontrollers beginning with the MSP430 and Stellaris families. The Murata Type VK Wi-Fi™ 802.11b/g W-LAN Module is intended for broad market use by incorporating peripheral hardware functions on-module to simplify customer implementation.

Features
